SMB2, for sure. It may be the second-cousin-thrice-removed of the series but it is still a stellar game.
RE4 is soaking up most of my time, though.

I may download Ecco 2. I remember the original (Ecco the Dolphin) being a very fun game.

SMB2: A game that was dramatically improved with its cosmetic All-Stars makeover and then utterly destroyed with its conversion to the GBA. Never has Nintendo ported a game to another system as poorly as this game's transition to the GBA.

I'm still holding out for Mario 3. I don't know what the holdup is; that's the FIRST game I would have ported if I were Nintendo. But that's me.
What's Dragon Spirit? Anyone vouch for it?

Got SMB2 right away, weird for a Mario game but fun and ofcourse nostalgic.
Thinking about getting Dragon Spirit it looks pretty cool. Interesting to see a SHMUP with a fantasy premise as opposed to the usual Sci-fi thing.

Dragon Spirit is a vertical shooter in which you play as a dragon. Power ups give you more heads with which you can shoot more fireballs!
It's got that air-to-ground shooting thing, too, like Xevious and 1942. You push a different button and you shoot downward at ground-based enemies. It's pretty good, and the TG16 version is better than the NES version by far.
Still, it's another shooter. ANOTHER SHOOTER.
